Strategy What to do with pick 1 now we’ve got it - Do We Need Reid or is it Curtins

[Dylan82]

I've had enough of all of these kents already.

Nothing would satisfy me more right now than drafting H.Reid and watch him kick a bag against the tin-rattlers.


And anyone else wanting to entertain splitting the pick in this massively compromised draft needs to give themselves an uppercut as well.

 

[BartBart]

Manufactured band one compo from the AFL for McKay surely becomes less likely with North having pick 1. Pick one, NGA access and a later first round pick for McKay is more than enough.

Surely all the clubs killed off the NGA pick of Sanders a month or 2 ago.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Gonna take a while to get over this.
The only comfort left is to mull over all of Reid's supposed deficiencies in his game.

 

[BartBart]

Not sure how we avoid the spoon with 5x 100pt losses including our worst ever, but I am glad we did.

We still have a pick from the top bracket of draftees and we never really know which player is going to be the best performers in 15 years time.

Maybe but from our selfish perspective that option was better than giving them pick 2/3 imo.

 

[Flarn Rarn]

What receipts?

No way we should've won that game but in all likelihood, it ends Bevo's career.

You trolling?

Trolling? No. I'm pissed that we will almost surely miss out on Reid now and my only consolation is that I was right when nobody listened a couple of weeks ago that we were still a reasonable chance of winning another game.

Flipside; North will now finish bottom of the ladder 3 years in a row.

AFL absolutely cannot ignore the need for premium draft assistance anymore.

All those 'but North have improved!' stuff is gone.

Bahaha, North are 10% better than last year and have structured up in close games to intentionally lose.

AFL will be relieved they got pick 1, because it now gives them zero incentive to dodgy up some assistance.

Trolling? No. I'm pissed that we will almost surely miss out on Reid now and my only consolation is that I was right when nobody listened a couple of weeks ago that we were still a reasonable chance of winning another game.

There was nothing 'reasonable' about winning today. Turns out the Bulldogs are just pure trash.

 

[Dark Sharks]

After what we've endured this year, every game I've dragged my ass to because Nisbett the weasel begged..

To miss out on Reid now. Christ.

 

[Avalor]

Close the thread

 

[BartBart]

So (if both NM & WCE lose next week) the difference for the No.1 pick is one "accidental" interchange.

McKercher currently looking up things to do in Perth

 

[BartBart]

If the McKay compo is end of 1st round who do we take at pick 3 out of Curtin or McKercher?

Yep.

Oh and completely changing your gameplan in the last 10 minutes of every game you're winning/close behind in, to bombing it to outnumbers in the corridor.

They'll take Curtin but we should take McKercher.

 

[TerryFilk]

Time to load up on some Chesse McKercher highlights

It’s going to be Curtin if North don’t get 2, which is fine as he’s a great talent but not addressing the midfield needs is going to hurt.

If North do get pick 2 (I hope they do, because I don’t want Curtin) you’d think we take McKercher but I’ve heard we’re into Duursma heavily.

Alright then, so this interaction boils down to

Me: We are more likely to win another game than many of you think
You: I don't see how
West Coast: (wins)
You: Doesn't count

Reckon I might be singing this Christmas morning:

Hey Santa Claus you campaigner, where's me ****in' Harley?
I've unwrapped all this other junk and there's nothing that I like
I wrote you a ****in' letter and I come to see you twice
You worn out geriatric fart, you forgot me ****in' Harley

If I'd wanted a pair of bloody Curtins, I would have bloody asked
And this cowboy suit and ping pong set
You can shove right up your arse
You've stuffed me bloody order up, it's enough to make you spew
But it's not just me who's snakey, many on Bigfooty are dirty, too

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Shame our Colby is injured today. Still I gather it's him or Zane now. Happy with that.

McKercher such a better prospect but Duursma is a very WC pick, they’ll love his “midfield potential”

What gave you any form of confidence WCE would actually win another game after the season we've had?

I really hope you don't gamble. Confirmation bias is not a reliable strategy.

We love some midfield potential over actual midfield talent unfortunately. McKercher got 2 goals today before going off with his right ankle iced. Hopefully nothing long-term.

 

[Tugga27]

Completely and utterly blown this.

Our next decade and two flags was right in front of us. I firmly believe that.

**** this.

Simmo fighting for his job.
Players playing for contracts, but let's tank so we can get Reid.
Makes sense.

BTW, if you think Reid is the difference in us winning 2 flags, you're in Laa Laa land.

 

[bzparkes]

Going to laugh if North end up going Curtin anyway, or take Reid and miss out on all the KPP talent again in the draft.

[Tugga27]

Just a pathetic club nowadays. Absolutely gutless and filled with egotistical wankstains

You're just about the biggest "wankstain" on this board champ.
